This website is the cornerstone of the museum, supporting and recording all New Zealand fashion history. You can move through the virtual museum using the top navigation or by scrolling through the clickable tiles on the home page. The tiles link to our latest content, either new additions to the collection, exhibition updates, or social media posts.

Exhibitions is home to the miscellany of content generated when we curate a pop-up exhibition. This includes research, articles, photos and video of the exhibitions and events, links to the exhibition garments in the collection, related social media, original content such as oral history interviews and links to other related media.

Collection is the heart of the museum. All the garments, photographs, biographies and fashion stories collected from our own research and exhibitions and contributed by other museums, libraries and by the general public, are documented here. You can SEARCH the collection using your own words or you can FILTER the collection for areas of interest to you.

Events is where you will find any of our current events as well as other fashionable events and exhibitions in New Zealand and around the world.

About is where you can find more information about the New Zealand Fashion Museum.
